Why read it?
2 authors picked Maiden & Princess as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I personally like this book because there are very few picture books representing two women falling in love and getting married. This book celebrates two women, a courageous maiden who attends a royal party, and while there, she ends up finding love with the princess.

The racially diverse cast of characters, illustrated in bright colors, find an ending satisfying to all when the maiden falls in love with the princeās sister.
From Sarah's list on childrenās picture books with LGBTQ+ characters.
